Acne Treatment

Acne is a skin condition that can leave physical and psychological scars if not treated, and contrary to popular belief, acne is not limited to teenagers and young people.

In fact, acne can strike people in their 30s, 40s and beyond. It can cause physical pain in severe cases and also can negatively impact the self-esteem and confidence of those affected.

If you want effective acne treatment, it’s available in the Orlando area at Dermatology and Skin Cancer Center in Windermere, Florida. To learn more about acne treatments, or to schedule an appointment with a dermatologist, contact Dermatology and Skin Cancer Center today.

What Is Acne?

Acne is a skin disease that involves the sebaceous glands. If you suffer from acne, you aren’t alone. More than 80 percent of pre-teens and teens have acne, as do many adults who incorrectly thought their acne years were behind them.

How Does Acne Form?

Puberty, stress and hormonal factors can cause our bodies to produce large quantities of the oily substance known as sebum. Sebum can combine with skin debris, clogging pores in the process. Without proper acne treatment, clogged pores can soon turn red and swollen, becoming infected. This leads to formation of pimples. Scarring can occur in some severe cases.
